Top Rio de Janeiro City Tours

Augusto was such a great tour guide for our first Rio trip. He was knowledgeable, caring and very engaging. His English is fantastic and he was kind enough to switch between English and PT since we had varying levels of fluency. We also really appreciated both the customizability and his input since we were experiencing a rainy Rio day. Overall, a fantastic experience

What a wonderful and relaxing way to pass 3 hours,. The yacht is not luxurious but it’s well fitted out and our host Clarissa and the Skipper were fantastic. We circumnavigated. All of Rio Bay and Clarisse was the perfect hostess- warm and friendly and serving us drinks and food and generally making us feel at home and relaxed as she played lovely music for us and then when it got a bit cold she brought us all blankets. I highly recommend this activity.

We had a fantastic private tour with Higor. My mother uses a walker, and Higor did an excellent job finding accessible bathrooms, navigating step-free access, and making sure she was comfortable and safe. We saw Christ the Redeemer, an interesting Brutalist-style church, the bottom of the Selaron Steps, and took the cable car to Sugarloaf Mountain. Our lunch stop was delicious too. My only regret was that I didn’t think to ask for a stop at the Holocaust Memorial! We will go another day. Notes for anyone with access needs: The Sugarloaf Mountain cable car was set up well for accessibility, aside from a small gap between the platform and the cable car. There was an extensive network of lifts providing step-free access. Christ the Redeemer was more challenging. There were steep inclines and broken-down escalators. Even worse, people on the small viewing platform repeatedly pushed my mother’s walker, and one woman even shouted at my mother to move it so she could take a photo. Overall, it was a wonderful tour around Rio!
